Thank you kindly for the input. It is such a shame this gun is in poor condition. I have attached a couple photos of serial numbers. It appears the tang, water table, and forearm all match with #20758 and the barrel flats show #11816.
I own an English double with barrel serial numbers far later than the other numbers on the gun. A factory letter confirmed a new set of barrels was made 5 years after mfg due to the original set developing an issue. That makes good sense. I assume this Parker just has a set of cobbled on barrels that never related to this gun from the factory. The fact the barrels are earlier by 10,000 serial number is very odd.
Thanks again folks. This is educational and I appreciate the help.
